Participation request - precision medicine survey


Recommended Posts

Be a part of a precision medicine research study!
 
My name is Scott McGrath, and I'm a doctoral candidate for a degree in biomedical informatics from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. As part of my dissertation, I'm surveying healthcare providers about their experiences, knowledge, and confidence in interpreting genetic test results with patients. There are three main objectives: 1) To evaluate how different healthcare providers with different levels of education on genetic testing interpret genetic test results; 2) To determine the confidence and self-efficacy of healthcare providers as they interpret genetic test results with patients; 3) To capture healthcare providers’ opinions about, and experiences with, direct-to-consumer genetic tests (like 23andMe).
 
My concern is that the burdens of helping patients understand the influx of genetic data will fall largely on the shoulders of primary care providers (internists, PAs, pediatricians, family practice, advance practice nurses, etc.) as there are relatively few certified genetic specialists (only ~1,500 clinical geneticist, and 4,244 genetic counselors). I want to better understand how prepared we are for this new kind of data set.
 
To participate, you can take the survey below. It takes an average of 15-20 minutes to complete. I know your time is valuable, so if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at this email address (smcgrath@unomaha.edu) or (402) 577-0501. The poll is anonymous and IRB approved from UNMC (irbora@unmc.edu). I am 30 surveys away from hitting my sample size, so even just a couple of completed surveys is very helpful!
 
 
Thank you in advance for your time!
